The Father and the Son stepped out
Looked down at the world below
A distant world where sin’s strong arm
Had struck a fatal blow
There had to be a sacrifice
A cross, a lonely hill
Someone had to span the gulf
So Jesus said, “I will”
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
To bring them where You are
And even though I could choose
The path of least resistance
Father, I will take the cross
And I will go the distance
To Think about His sacrifice
Leaves me with a choice to make
So many stand just out of reach
With eternity at stake
But I can be the go-between
And walk the extra mile
And if just one should find their way
Then it’s been worth the while
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
To bring them where You are
And even though I could choose
The path of least resistance
Father, I will take the cross
And I will go the distance
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
To bring them where You are
And even though I could choose
The path of least resistance
Father, I will take the cross
And I will go the distance
Father I will take the cross
I will go the distance
